About once a month I archive the messages in this conference, ZIPping each
batch to economise on space.  Before I do so, I edit out the fortnightly
homily from David Stodolsky.  The difference is significant.

Here are the 'before and after' statistics for December (up to the 30th,
inclusive):

Complete database - 122,329 bytes (100%)
Purged database   -  74,523 bytes (61%)

The absolute figures will vary with the capture and storage mechanism used on
people's systems but the ratio of wheat and chaff will, I imagine, be broadly
the same for everyone.
